Thank you for purchasing this product.
(These instrustions are for TK-WD310U and TK-WD310E.)
Before beginning to operate this unit, please read the instruction
manual carefully in order to make sure that the best possible perfor-
mance is obtained.
Features
Backlight compensation over a wide area is realized by the 14-bit Wide
Dynamic Range feature.
The Wide Dynamic Range feature controls the exposure time using a
maximum of 5 sampling timing for the image within a single screen.
Even when shooting in areas with large difference in lightning, subjects
with difference in brightness can be viewed in a clear and natural state.
1/3-inch high-resolution DPS device adopted as shooting element to
realize high picture quality with no smearing or blooming in areas with
high luminance. In addition, 2.5lx (during F1.2, 50%, AGC SUPER set-
ting) is realized for minimum subject brightness.
Horizontal resolution of 480 lines (typ.) and vertical resolution of over
400 lines allow display of finely detailed video.
New device adopted for use even under strong electric field conditions.
Compatible with CS mount and VIDEO auto iris/DC auto iris.
* When using the C mount lens, C mount adapter is required.
Various settings in each menu screen are possible.
Menu settings can be performed easily using single button operations.
3 white balance modes of ATW, AWB and MANUAL are available.
ATW mode that adjusts the white balance automatically according to
the changes in lighting conditions (color temperature) or AWB/MANUAL
mode that automatically or manually adjusts and locks the white bal-
ance of specific lighting conditions can be selected.
Camera title setting and display can be made.
Compact design allows installation in narrow spaces.

Operating Precautions
To save energy, when it is not being used turn the system's
power off.
This camera has been designed for indoor use.
When you use it outdoors, be sure to use an appropriate housing.
Do not install or use the camera in the following places.
· In a place exposed to rain or moisture.
· In a place with vapor or oil soot, for example in a kitchen.
· When the ambient temperature rises above or falls below the
acceptable range (from ­10°C to 50°C).
· Near a source of radiation, X-rays, strong radio waves or mag-
netism.
· In a place where corrosive gasses are generated.
· In a place subject to vibration.
· In a place with excessive dirt.
If this camera and the cables connected to this camera are used
where there are strong electromagnetic waves or where there
is magnetism present, for example near a radio or TV transmit-
ter, power transformer or an electric motor, the picture may pro-
duce noise and the colours may be affected.
This camera incorporates an AGC circuit. As a result, when it is
used under low light conditions, the camera sensitivity is auto-
matically boosted and the picture may look uneven. However,
this is not a malfunction.
When this camera is used in the ATW mode, the recorded
colours may be slightly different from the actual colours due to
the operational principles of the auto-tracking white balance cir-
cuit. However, this is not a malfunction.
Hunting may occur depending on the used lens. However, this
is not a malfunction of the unit.
The screen surroundings may appear dark depending on the
used lens.

Operating Precautions (continued)
The white balance (ATW) of this device is optimally set for sun-
light. Proper white balance may not be achieved for artificial
lighting such as fluorescent lighting, etc.
If you use this camera in locations where the camera is ex-
posed to fluorescent light, a slow color change may occur.
(White balance normal = 5,400 K, range is 2,500 K to 10,000 K.)
AGC SUPER: in this mode, ATW white balance may be inaccurate.
White balance performance decreases under poor lighting con-
ditions.
Observe the following when carrying out camera maintenance.
·Turn the power OFF before proceeding to carry out mainte-
nance.
If it is contaminated seriously, clean the contaminated part with
a cloth (or a tissue) which has been soaked in a solution of
water and a neutral detergent.
The unit is to be powered by a DC 12 V or an AC 24 V power
supply.
The AC 24 V power supply should conform to the following:
U type : Class 2 only
E type : Isolated power supply only
The beat may sometimes appear on the screen if gain is raised
when the line lock is in use, but the phenomenon takes place
due to the fluctuation of power frequency and is not a malfunc-
tion.
At Low light levels, video iris lens may "Hunt". Please adjust iris
level on lens to minimise hunting.
Recommended range of operating temperature is 0°C to 35°C
degrees. The camera will function outside these parameters to
­10°C to 50°C degrees. But processing errors may be appar-
ent.
INTRODUCTION

Line-Lock is set for 50 Hz ±0.02 Hz. If line frequency is outside
this tolerance, picture may jitter and some interference may be
visible in high contrast scenes.
Blemishes: Small spots are normal, the camera contains com-
pensation functions for blemishes above 120 mV (p-p) in value.
Please contact your JVC authorised dealer for further informa-
tion.
